“…Smokers' choices of cessation methods seem to reflect the recommendations made by the health authorities and health personnel regarding NRTs and the smoking cessation app, but not e-cigarettes. The Norwegian tobacco policy on ecigarettes as a smoking cessation method is in line with the WHO's approach, and the recommendation for e-cigarette use in smoking cessation has been categorized as "precautionary nonuse" [50]. The Norwegian government's tobacco control strategy does not dismiss the idea of a harm reduction perspective [51].…”

In addition to traditional smoking cessation methods like nicotine replacement therapy (NRT), new methods such as mobile applications and e-cigarettes have been added to the toolbox. The purpose of this study was to examine which methods smokers currently use in quit or reduction attempts and map characteristics of users of the various methods. In this study, participants were smokers who visited a website or called a quit line for smoking cessation and who were currently in quit or reduction attempts ( N = 740 ). Data were collected in Norway in 2013–2017 through a web survey. Most smokers were currently trying to quit, and the most frequently used methods were a smoking cessation app for mobile phones, nicotine replacement therapies (NRTs), and e-cigarettes. Logistic regression analyses identified older daily smokers with high cigarette consumption as NRT users, while the users of a cessation app were younger females. The use of e-cigarettes was associated with older, low educated smokers with low cigarette consumption. The use of the mobile phone app was associated with having made several recent quit attempts. The study provides insight into help-seeking smokers’ preferences for smoking cessation methods and user characteristics. This knowledge is relevant for further work in smoking cessation planning and policies.

“…The risk-benefit tradeoff of electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) has divided the medical and public health communities. 1 Fourth-generation nicotine salt pod system (NSPS) e-cigarettes are the current market leaders. 2,3 These devices contain nicotine as the benzoate or other salt in relatively high concentrations and use a low wattage battery.…”

Effect of Pod e-Cigarettes vs Cigarettes on Carcinogen Exposure Among African American and Latinx Smokers

IMPORTANCE Fourth-generation nicotine salt pod system (NSPS) electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) are the leading class of e-cigarettes. They contain high nicotine concentrations, which may facilitate switching among smokers, but could also lead to increased exposure to nicotine and biomarkers of potential harm. African American and Latinx smokers experience significant tobaccorelated health disparities. The potential of NSPS e-cigarettes to reduce smoking-related harm among these groups is unknown. OBJECTIVETo compare the harm reduction potential of NSPS e-cigarette vs combustible cigarettes.

“…Future studies that incorporate shared decision-making practices, particularly around the use of ecigarette, would provide the much-needed additional evidence and preliminary efficacy data within a quitline setting. Given the variety of e-cigarette product types, modes of use, and contradictory recommendations around using e-cigarettes (Brady, De La Rosa, Nair, & Leischow, 2019), it will be important for quitlines to determine how best to tailor coaching protocols to assist e-cigarette users in quitting tobacco.…”

IntroductionEvidence is mixed on e-cigarette's effectiveness as a tobacco cessation aid. Research suggests that e-cigarette users face greater barriers to quitting tobacco.AimTo examine the association between e-cigarette use and tobacco cessation outcomes among quitline callers.MethodsWe examined 2,204 callers who enrolled and completed 7-month follow-up surveys between April 2014 and January 2017. We examined the association between any e-cigarette use and tobacco cessation. We also evaluated these relationships by e-cigarette use patterns between enrollment and 7-month follow-up: sustained, adopted, discontinued, and non-use. We used multivariable logistic regression to control for caller characteristics, tobacco history, and program utilization.ResultsOverall, 18% of callers reported using e-cigarettes at enrollment, follow-up, or both. Compared to non-users, e-cigarette users were more likely to be younger, non-Hispanic, and report a mental health condition. The adjusted odds of tobacco cessation were not statistically different for callers who used e-cigarettes compared to those who did not (adjusted odds ratios = 1.02, 95% confidence interval 0.79–1.32). Results were similar when examining cessation by patterns of e-cigarette use.ConclusionsE-cigarette use was not associated with tobacco cessation. This suggests that e-cigarette use may neither facilitate nor deter tobacco cessation among quitline callers. Future research should continue exploring how e-cigarette use affects quitting.
